4.0 out of 5 stars A mixture of Clockwork Orange/American Psycho/The Assassin, 17 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Weekend: A Novel of Revenge (Paperback)
Although disturbing and violent in parts, this book is also very entertaining and strangely compelling. It is girl-power with a difference and makes for an uncomfortable read (especially if you're a bloke!) The author weaves a web of intrigue and black humour to leave the reader confused about how they should be feeling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it, it's worth it, 2 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Weekend (Flamingo) (Paperback)
This book has to be read to be believed. Zahavis hypnotic text leads the reader into Bella's warped world, yet leaves you convinced that she's doing the right thing. I couldn't put it down, and recommend it to all the girls out there who've ever wanted revenge, and all the men who've ever taken advantage of a woman!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I've ever read!!, 24 Oct 2007
By Ms. J. E. Rutter "Jude" (North_East England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dirty Weekend (Flamingo) (Paperback)
Thi book is both a relevation and an inspiration! If you've ever felt 'at the bottom of the pile' in terms of being dumped on by men this is the book for you.
Bella is both heroe and villian at the same time. Athough the author begins by basing Bella in reality, later in the book Bella starts to operate in what appears to be a fantasy world which makes it even more entertaining.
If the men in your life are getting on your nerves go for this!

5.0 out of 5 stars If all is getting you down girls...then read!!!!!
I loved the way Helen Zahavi has created an atmosphere of claustrophobia and the almost repetative lulling of Bellas entrapment. Read more
